I’m getting the following 3 errors when I build my MAUI application to iOS simulator (no issues deploying to android simulator):

actool exited with code 1

arch exited with code 1

The operation couldn't be completed. Failed to locate any simulator runtime matching options: {
BuildVersionString = 21F77;
Platforms = (
   "com.apple.platform.iphonesimulator"
);
VersionString = "17.5";
}

This is happening for any/all MAUI apps for me–I created a brand new app, made no changes, and it still happens.

What I’ve tried:

• I saw this thread, however I have not changed the icon name, so this isn’t the issue.
• I tried adding the property group conditions raised here. However same errors showed up, pasting in property groups below:

attempt 1:

  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)'=='net8.0-ios'">
    <ForceSimulatorX64ArchitectureInIDE>true</ForceSimulatorX64ArchitectureInIDE>
  </PropertyGroup>

attempt 2:

  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)'=='net8.0-ios'">
    <RuntimeIdentifier>iossimulator-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
  </PropertyGroup>
